Noda ( Japanese 野 田村 , - mura ) is a village community in Kunohe County in the east of Iwate Prefecture in Japan .

geography

Noda is located at the eastern foot of the Kitakami Mountains on the Noda Bay ( 野 田湾 , Noda-wan ) of the Pacific Ocean .

The village of Noda is located on the northern Sanriku coast , where the geology is dominated by the Upper Cretaceous Kuji group . The alluvial lowlands were formed along rivers and sea ​​terraces . In the coastal areas, cliffs and coastal reefs extend into the sea. The beach is made up of sand and pebbles , which are a rare sedimentary environment on the northern Sanriku coast, which has developed into a ria coast. In the lowlands there are rice fields and urban areas.

In the northern part there is an extensive delta of several rivers. In these is the center of the village with the district Noda with the majority of the population. The district and thus the village name comes from these geographical conditions da no 野 means "grassland" and da 田 means "rice field". This district is in turn subdivided into 37 consecutively numbered suburbs, some of which are also located in the sparsely populated hinterland. A few kilometers further south there is another small delta with the district Tamagawa ( 玉川 , literally: "River of Jewels") and its 5 sub-districts, also numbered consecutively.

The rare mineral kinoshitalite was first discovered in the Noda Tamagawa mine in 1972 ; in Japan it only occurs in Hokkejino ( Kamo-chō , Kizugawa ).

Noda is south of Kuji , northeast of Iwaizumi and north of Fudai .

history

Today's community was created in 1889 as part of the nationwide reorganization of the community from the amalgamation of the old village of Noda with the neighboring Tamagawa.

Earthquake and tsunami disasters

Cleaning up after the 2011 tsunami by US soldiers as part of the Tomodachi aid operation

In history, the Sanriku area on the Pacific coast of the Tōhoku region, which is opposite the Japan Rift Valley , was often affected by large tsunamis. The tsunamis of 1611 , 1896 , 1933 and 2011 are known to be particularly large historical tsunamis . No written records of major tsunamis are available prior to the 1896 tsunami.

Comparison of the balance sheets of completely destroyed houses and victims in Noda for the disasters of 1896, 1933, 1960 and 2011
Disaster event Completely destroyed houses Death toll source
Meiji 1896 (earthquake and tsunami) 80 260
Shōwa 1933 (earthquake and tsunami) 62 8th
Chile 1960 (earthquake and tsunami) 9 0
Tōhoku 2011 (earthquake and tsunami) 309 38
Note: The death toll for the 2011 Tōhoku disaster is calculated from the total number of dead and missing in the 153rd FDMA damage report of March 8, 2016, minus the figures for catastrophe-related deaths determined by the Reconstruction Agency (RA).

In Noda, the Meiji-Sanriku tsunami in 1896 penetrated up to 880 m inland and up to a height of 16 m, according to the local population.

On March 11, 2011, Noda was hit by a tsunami after the Tōhoku earthquake , which severely damaged the village center. 311 residential buildings were completely destroyed and 168 others were partially destroyed. 39 people were killed. 68.9% of the 4,639 inhabitants of Noda lived in the flooded area. The hospital - the only medical facility in the city - was damaged by the tsunami and lost its functionality. The ground floor of the town hall was flooded, leaving tsunami traces one meter high on the outer wall. The tsunami reached a height of 22.84 m near the coast of Noda. It penetrated up to about 720 m inland and up to a height of 12 m. Since the breakwaters were only built after the tsunami of 1896, the flooding distances and heights of the tsunamis of 1896 and 2011 cannot be directly compared.

traffic

The most important and only trunk road is National Road 45 to Sendai or Aomori . There is a bus transfer to the nearby city Kuji on Kuji coastline ( 久慈海岸線 , kaigansen Kuji ) of the Norunetto Kuji ( のるねっとKUJI ), a joint venture of the bus company Iwate Kenpoku bus KK , the tourism company Sanriku Kanko KK and passenger transport company KK Hikari Sōgō Kōtsū .

Fudai is connected to the rail network via the Kita-Rias Line (North Rias Line) operated by the Sanriku Tetsudō railway company. This leads to the main train stations of Miyako or Kuji . The stops in Noda are Rokuchū-Noda ( 陸 中 野 田 駅 , -eki ) and Noda-Tamagawa ( 野 田玉川 駅 , -eki ).

education

Noda, the primary school Noda (located 野田村立野田小学校 , Noda-sonritsu Noda shōgakkō ), the middle school Noda ( 野田村立野田中学校 , Noda-sonritsu Noda chūgakkō ) and the prefectural technical high school Kuji ( 岩手県立久慈工業高等学校 , Iwate -kenritsu Kuji kōgyō kōtō gakkō ), which is not located in nearby Kuji despite its name.

The tsunami hazard map with its tsunami flood information is based on three tsunami simulations (1st historical Meiji-Sanriku tsunami, 2nd historical Showa-Sanriku tsunami and 3rd predicted Miyagi-Oki earthquake tsunami). The map of the Kokudo Chiriin (国土 地理 院, Geographical Survey Institute = GSI) has been created on a scale of 1: 25000 and is intended for printing on A3 paper . The damage prediction study was carried out by Iwate Prefecture in 2003 and 2004.
